The Golden Shrine was a legend in the religion of the followers of the God of the Raumsdalians and the Bizogots. It was believed, that like the Glacier, the Shrine was built to keep any dangerous peoples who lived north of the Glacier from attacking the people who lived south. During the expedition through the Gap, the search for the Golden Shrine was the chief objective. While people like Count Hamnet Thyssen disbelieved the fact that the Shrine even existed, scholars like Earl Eyvind Torfinn were dispatched by Emperor Sigvat II to find the shrine at all costs.
